Ao Yu retreated to the other side of the raft and said: "No interference. As long as you tell me that you want to study magic, I will never interfere with you. Please continue to study." After saying this, he turned back.
, jumped into the turbulent river.
You can't afford to offend someone whose own head is burning.
"As for being so scared, he is still the grandson of the Dragon God. Oh, no, the fire energy is converted too early. If it is maintained for a long time, it will explode easily. We need to find a new point to break in." Ding Kui said to himself.
After that, sparks exploded from time to time, but the distance from Ding Kui became further and further away, and Ao Yu spent more and more time underwater.
The magical beasts in the lower reaches of the Wave River were spared because of Ding Kui's sudden idea. Whenever he had time, Ding Kui would immerse himself in the research of compound magic. Killing the magical beasts and harvesting the magic core was no longer important.
This new type of compound magic fusion is very difficult for Ding Kui. There is no opportunistic shortcut. He can only keep trying over and over again and sum up experience from failure again and again.
High-level magicians will not spend time on such low-level magic research, and middle- and low-level magicians are not qualified to study it. Ding Kui happens to be in the middle of the first two. What is rare is that he thinks of it and is willing to spend time to study it.
In February 4872, a fleet full of cargo sailed into the "Golden Waterway" and headed north to the State of Lu. Each ship was hung with the flag of the Lu Chamber of Commerce. It is not difficult to tell that this is a fleet belonging to the Lu State.
The fleet of the Chamber of Commerce.
Responsible for the safe navigation of this fleet is a magician in his fifties. This magician with a round face is an acquaintance of Ding Kui, and he is Ping Hu, the magician who opened the tower.
Ping Hu will become a tribute to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters when he returns to Lu State. He will no longer have to run around to deal with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and he will be eligible to enjoy most of the resources of the Lu Chamber of Commerce.
"Elder Ping, there is a raft in front of the cargo ship, and there seems to be a magician on it." A sailor came to report.
"Oh? Wait for me to go and take a look." Ping Hu encountered such a thing for the first time.
This section of the golden waterway of the Tongyuan River has merchant ships passing by all year round, but it does not mean that it is a safe place, otherwise the Lu Chamber of Commerce would not arrange a tower-opening magician to escort it.
A magician on a raft is something new.
Ping Hu flew directly to the front of the fleet, and sure enough, there were two young men standing on a raft. One of them, wearing a black magician's robe, saw him and also rose into the air and flew towards him.
"Is that the Lu Chamber of Commerce's fleet ahead?" the young magician asked.
Seeing the opponent's flying speed, Ping Hu felt relieved and asked: "Exactly, I am Ping Hu, who are you? Why are you here?"
"Late Jin Xie Peng, a member of the Shaodian Kingdom Magician Guild, traveled to the Hengduan Mountains with his companions and just drifted from the Bolan River to the Tongyuan River.
Master Ping, can you pick us up by the way? We want to go to the north and have a look." Ding Kui recognized Ping Hu and quickly changed his voice.
"Oh, you floated out from the Bolan River." Ping Hu rolled his eyes, "No problem, just get on my boat. I'll be here soon."
Ding Kui and Ao Yu encountered no obstacles on the raft, and drifted along the turbulent river to the Tongyuan River, where they encountered the Lv Chamber of Commerce cargo ship that accounted for half of the shipping volume on the golden waterway.
The merchant ship on which Ping Hu was riding approached, and as soon as Ao Yu stepped on the raft, he jumped onto the merchant ship, startling the people on board.
"This is my companion Ding Yu. Without him, I really wouldn't be able to leave the Hengduan Mountains." Ding Kui introduced to the surprised Ping Hu.
"Yes, I have been to the Golden Waterway many times, and I have never seen anyone floating out of the Bolan River. It cannot be done without deep strength." Ping Hu silently distanced himself from Ao Yu.
"His name is a bit similar to a good friend of mine." Ding Kui said deliberately.
"Oh? What's your friend's name?" A name appeared in Ping Hu's mind. His ability to return to the headquarters as a worshiper had a lot to do with this person.
"Ding Kui."
Ping Hu first showed a look of astonishment, and then with a smile on his face, he stepped forward and took Ding Kui's hand, saying: "Oh my, little friend Ding Kui and I have been friends for many years. If you are his friend, then I will."
friends.
Come on, let’s put on the banquet quickly. Come on, come and sit in the cabin. It seems that you have finished eating your dry food already. You can eat and drink well while I’m here, and let me greet you on my behalf, little friend Ding Kui.”
Ouch, you are indeed a person from Lu State, you are really good at building relationships. When did I become a close friend with you? No wonder the Lu Chamber of Commerce can do business all over the continent.
Ding Kui showed a look of "surprise" on his face and asked: "I heard Ding Kui said that he has cooperation with Lu's Chamber of Commerce, are you?"
"That's right, the contract for his cooperation with the Lu Chamber of Commerce was signed with me." Ping Hu said calmly, as if this was normal.
"Haha, I am so lucky to meet Master Ping this time. I didn't expect that my little brother is young and knows a lot of people. He bothered him a lot on the way." Ding Kui finally made the connection.
Ao Yu looked at Ding Kui with admiration and thought: You obviously know this person, but you can still pretend like this. It's not easy to deal with human beings.
The cabin was quickly filled with wine and food. It was no small task for the Ping Hu, who was about to be worshiped, to entertain friends. The chef on the ship worked hard to cope with it.
"Ahem, Ding Yu, no one is going to rob you. Ping Lao is here to take care of you." Ding Kui reminded Ao Yu who was devouring his food with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. He is just a few years older than little friend Ding Kui. I could eat better than him back then. By the way, what did you gain in the Hengduan Mountains?" Ping Hu has not forgotten his profession, and he is absolutely perfect in acquiring magic cores.
He is an expert.
"Bring it here." Ding Kui reached out to Ao Yu who was eating nonsense. Ao Yu impatiently pulled off a bag from his belt and threw it to Ding Kui.
"It's our first time to go into the mountains this time. We mainly travel and don't gain much, so please ask Mr. Ping." Ding Kui made an agreement with Ao Yu in advance and took out the magic cores to be sold and put them in a bag for each person.
It is inconvenient to take out the space ring in front of others.
"Not bad. There are one hundred level three magic cores, fifteen level four magic cores and thirty-five level five magic cores. It's your first time to kill so many intermediate level magic beasts in the mountain. You two are quite powerful.
." Since there were not many of them, Pinghu took it for granted that they had killed the monsters.
"Well, we are quite embarrassed. We were chased away by monsters, but we were lucky enough to escape." Ding Kui's face was slightly red. Those fifth-level magic cores were given to them by Kang Sheng, and he admitted that they were
I felt a little guilty when I killed him.
"Since we are friends, I will make it clear," Ping Hu put away his smile, "The Lu Chamber of Commerce usually purchases magic cores at 60 to 70% of the market price.
This time I return to the Kingdom of Lu to serve as the head of the headquarters, and the transaction with you is the last transaction. For Ding Kui's sake, I will purchase your magic core at 80% of the market price."
"Oh, Mr. Ping has been promoted, congratulations." This news was beyond Ding Kui's expectation.
"You need to bring more money with you when you go to the north, so I'll collect it for you. These magic cores will be charged at 300,000 gold coins." Ping Hu is very arrogant, and now he has no need for gold coins.
Ding Kui gave one to Ao Yu and put the remaining two into his arms. Ao Yu rolled his eyes beside him.
Ping Hu chatted with the two young men, and soon they started talking about his escorting the fleet.
"Isn't there no magical beasts attacking human ships in Tongyuanjiang? Why do we still need to escort the fleet?" Ding Kui came to Tongyuanjiang for the first time, and he didn't understand many things.
"The 'Golden Waterway' is the most important passage connecting the north and the south. Thousands of years ago, no ships could pass through it. Not only did it have to pass through the core area of the Hengduan Mountains, but there were also powerful monsters in the Tongyuan River.
Humanity once gathered twenty god-level experts to join forces to open this passage, but just when they were about to kill the super monsters entrenched on both sides of the core area, a huge turtle emerged from the middle of the golden waterway.
This turtle is said to have lived for endless years, and its unfathomable magic power suppressed human masters on the spot. However, the turtle did not want to cause killing, so it made an agreement with humans.
Warcraft with some intelligence are restricted and are not allowed to attack human ships on the golden waterway, and humans are not allowed to leave the ship when passing through the center of the golden waterway. Those who leave the ship are not protected by the agreement.
Low-level monsters don't know what the agreement is, and will occasionally attack human ships. Therefore, when passing through the golden waterway, humans usually form a fleet, and each fleet is escorted by warriors of about five levels." Ping Hu simply said
Tell Ding Kui the secret of the golden waterway.
"So there is such a period of history," Ding Kui suddenly realized, "What is that turtle? It is so powerful that it can suppress twenty god-level experts."
Ao Yu had already eaten and drank enough, and was picking his teeth at the side. His lips moved after listening to Ding Kui's words, but in the end he held back.
"The ancestor of the founder of Lu's Chamber of Commerce was one of the twenty god-level experts. According to him, the turtle didn't actually have much attack power, but it was completely unafraid of human attacks. The key was that it had endless
Once the magic power explodes out of control, none of the powerful humans present will be spared, and they will all die with it." Ping Hu explained the reason.
Twenty god-level experts were so scared that they self-destructed. Wouldn't that be equivalent to a hydrogen bomb explosion? The monsters here would also use nuclear deterrence, Ding Kui thought to himself.
The sailor who previously reported the sight of Ding Kui ran into the cabin and said urgently: "Elder Ping, there is a large group of fire-feathered crows coming."
"Oh? Let the archers from each ship gather." Ping Hu stood up.
Ding Kui also stood up immediately and volunteered: "Hahaha, I just developed a new magic, and I'm worried that I don't have a target to test its power. Since they are coming to my door, let me go and say hello."
"What new magic did you research?" Ping Hu didn't care. What kind of new magic can a wand-wielding magician research? "That's fine, let's go and see together. Xie Xiaoyou, just show off your skills, and I will come to capture the formation for you.
